A Clarkson man has been arrested in connection with a shooting at a Grayson Springs Road residence.

On Saturday night, July 9, at approximately 7:45, Grayson County Sgt. Jason Luedke, Deputy Caleb Owens, Constable Mark Stanton, Kentucky State Police Trooper Jakob Clemons, the Clarkson Fire Department, and EMS responded to the shooting in the 6600 block of Grayson Springs Road.

Initially, law enforcement believed a woman at the residence shot and critically injured 42-year-old Jeremy Stinnett. She was not arrested or charged, though.

According to Sheriff Norman Chaffins, “inconsistencies with the witnesses’ statements” led deputies to arrest 39-year-old Charles Edward Cann. Cann was arrested Tuesday night and charged with first-degree assault and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.

Cann is the son of the woman police originally thought shot Stinnett.

Stinnett, who was shot in the hip with a small caliber handgun, was airlifted about a mile from the shooting scene to University of Louisville Hospital where he remains.
